"It is important that we stick together in the tough moments and continue believing that we can become champions," captain Reus said. "We want to keep up the pressure on Bayern until the end and we managed to do that with today's win.

"Now we need to recover in the next days and start preparing for the derby against Schalke."

RB Leipzig are in third place on 61, nine points clear of fourth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
